Avis pour Tour à pied à Saitama

This hike was a truly unique way to experience Japan's countryside without straying too far from Tokyo, where my girlfriend and I based the majority of our trip. Within one day, we saw many beautiful rice patties and crop fields, small rural towns, lakes, and shrines tucked away in secluded areas of woods. Our guide, Eiji, was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the area, and we enjoyed everywhere he took us. One of our favorite places was a tiny little green tea shop outside of Totoro forest, where we tried some excellent teas and sweets. We also enjoyed the hikes through all of the Totoro forests, which were quiet and not overly taxing. We would highly recommend it to anyone else wanting to catch a glimpse of the countryside (and of course Totoro!)
